Last CFP: CHOMPS – Confabulation, Hallucinations, & Overgeneration in Multilingual & Precision-critical Settings (with our apologies for cross-posting) Venue: IJCNLP-AACL 2025 ( [ https://2025.aaclnet.org/ | https://2025.aaclnet.org/ ] ), IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India Date: 23/24th December 2025 (TBC) Workshop website: [ https://chomps2025.github.io/ | https://chomps2025.github.io/ ] * Description * Despite rapid advances, LLMs continue to "make things up": a phenomenon that manifests as hallucination, confabulation, and overgeneration. That is, produce unsupported and unverifiable text that sounds deceptively plausible. These outputs pose real risks in settings where accuracy and accountability are non-negotiable, including healthcare, legal systems, and education. The aim of the CHOMPS workshop is to find ways to mitigate one of major the hurdles that currently prevent the adoption of Large Language Models in real-world scenarios: namely, their tendency to hallucinate, i.e., produce unsupported and unverifiable text that sounds deceptively plausible. The workshop will explore hallucination mitigation in practical situations, where this mitigation is crucial: in particular, precision-critical applications (such as those in the medical, legal and biotech domains), as well as multilingual settings (given the lack of resources available to reproduce what can be done for English in other linguistic contexts). In practice, we intend to invite works of the following (not exclusive) list of topics: * Workshop topics * - Metrics, benchmarks and tools for hallucination detection - Factuality challenges in mission critical & domain-specific (e.g., medical, legal, biotech) and their consequences - Mitigation strategies during inference or model training - Studies of hallucinatory and confabulatory behaviors of LLMS in cross-lingual and multilingual scenarios - Confabulations in language & multimodal (vision, text, speech) models - Perspectives and case studies from other disciplines - … * Invited speakers * - Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen - Danish PRUTHI, IISc Bangalore - Abhilasha RAVICHANDER, University of Washington - Dr. Khyathi Raghavi Chandu, Mistral AI * Panel Discussion * - Preslav Nakov, MBZUAI - Sunayana Sitaram, Microsoft Research - Chung-Chi Chen, AIST, Japan * Shared Task * SHROOM-CAP - A Cross-lingual Scientific Hallucination Detection shared task. More info : [ https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a | https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a ] * Submission details * The workshop is designed with a widely inclusive submission policy so as to foster as vibrant a discussion as possible. Archival or non-archival submissions may consist of up to 8 pages (long) or 4 pages (short) of content. Dissemination submissions may consist of up to 1 page of content. On acceptance, authors may add one additional page to accommodate changes suggested by the reviewers. Please use the ACL style templates available here: [ https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files | https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files ] The submissions need to be done in PDF format via: (a) via Direct submission ( [ https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS | https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS ] ) (b) via ARR commitment ( [ https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS… | https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS… ] ) * Important dates * Paper submission deadline: September 29 , 2025 Direct ARR commitment: October 27 , 2025 Author notification: November 3 , 2025 Camera-Ready due: November 11 , 2025 Workshop date: December 23/ 24, 2025 (TBC) * Contact * For questions, please send an email to chomps-aacl2025(a)googlegroups.com or contact one of the workshop chairs: - Aman Sinha, Université de Lorraine, aman.sinha(a)univ-lorraine.fr - Raúl Vázquez, University of Helsinki, raul.vazquez(a)helsinki.fi - Timothee Mickus, University of Helsinki, timothee.mickus(a)helsinki.fi

Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive scientific community of practice within Digital Humanities. RAIL WORKSHOP Theme: Language resources in the age of large language models The sixth Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop will be co-located with the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) 2025 conference at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa, on 10 November 2025. The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on African indigenous languages resources such as natural languages processing (NLP) tools, Human Language Technologies (HLT), data collections, and annotations. This workshop aims to foster a scientific community of practice that focuses on computational linguistic tools and data that are designed for or applied to the indigenous languages of Africa. Many African languages are under-resourced while only a few are considered to be somewhat better resourced. These languages often share interesting properties such as writing systems, making them different from most high-resourced languages. From a computational perspective, these languages lack enough corpora to undertake high level development of NLP and HLT tools, which in turn impedes the development of African languages in these areas. During previous workshops, it was noted that the problems and solutions presented were not only applicable to African languages but were also relevant to many other low-resource languages across the world. Because these languages share similar challenges, this workshop provides researchers with opportunities to work collaboratively on issues of language resource development and learn from each other. The RAIL workshop has several aims. First, the workshop brings together researchers who work on African indigenous languages, forming a community of practice for people working on indigenous languages. Second, the workshop aims to reveal currently unknown or unpublished existing resources (corpora, NLP tools, and applications), resulting in a better overview of the current state-of-the-art, and also allows for discussions on novel, desired resources for future research in this area. Third, it enhances sharing of knowledge on the development of low-resource languages. Finally, it enables discussions on how to improve the quality as well as availability of the resources.

However, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the pre-training resources. Therefore, language models (LMs) often struggle with low-resource languages in both training and evaluation. Recently, there has been a growing trend in developing and adopting LMs for low-resource languages. This special issue aims to provide a forum for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work on LMs for low-resource languages. 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 We invite submissions on a broad range of topics related to the development and evaluation of neural language models for low-resource languages, including but not limited to the following. - Building language models for low-resource languages. - Adapting/extending existing language models/large language models for low-resource languages. - Corpora creation and curation technologies for training language models/large language models for low-resource languages. - Benchmarks to evaluate language models/large language models in low-resource languages. - Prompting/in-context learning strategies for low-resource languages with large language models. - Review of available corpora to train/fine-tune language models/large language models for low-resource languages. - Multilingual/cross-lingual language models/large language models for low-resource languages. - Applications of language models/large language models for low-resource languages (i.e. machine translation, chatbots, content moderation, etc.) 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 Paper submission: December 31, 2025 First decision: March 31, 2026- April 30, 2026 Revised version submission: May 1, 2026- June 1, 2026 Final decision: August 30, 2026 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Submissions should be formatted according to the journal guidelines available - https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/natural-language-processing/informa… and submitted through the manuscript submission system - https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nlp.

Internship: A computational socio-linguistic exploration of the Ethics of AI landscape
by Maria Boritchev 24 Sep '25

24 Sep '25

Hi everyone, (apologies for cross-postings) Tiphaine Viard and Maria Boritchev are offering a master 2 internship at Télécom Paris. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the offer or the project, the details on the offer are below: Advisors: Maria Boritchev, Tiphaine Viard Duration: 5-6 months, starting from February 1st (negociable) Location: Télécom Paris, 19 Pl. Marguerite Perey, 91120 Palaiseau Gratification: Approximately 600 euros per month (more or less 20 euros per month, the precise amount will depend on changes in the French labor code in 2026) Requirements: Applicants must be enrolled in a Master’s 2 program at the time of application and through the duration of the internship. We are looking for applications from students with solid skills (and ideally experience) in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, Computa- tional Social Sciences. Knowledge of English is necessary Context: The recent years have seen a surge of initiatives with the goal of defining what “ethical” artificial intelligence would or should entail, resulting in the publication of various charters and manifestos discussing AI ethics; these documents originate from academia, AI industry companies, non-profits, regulatory institutions, and the civil society. The contents of such documents vary wildly, from short, vague position statements to verbatims of democratic debates or impact assessment studies. As such, they are a marker of the social world of artificial intelligence, outlining the tenets of different actors, the consensus and dissensus on important goals, and so on [Gornet et al., 2024]. We have assembled a corpus of charters and manifestos of Ethics of AI, in English, written by different actors of the current AI landscape. This corpus is called MapAIE: [ https://mapaie.telecom-paris.fr/ | https://mapaie.telecom-paris.fr/ ] . We are conducting research on data from MapAIE both from a sociological and linguistic perspectives: • Sociologically, who are the groups of people who write about Ethics of AI? • Linguistically, what type of vocabulary or semantic constructions do people use to write about Ethics of AI? • Socio-linguistically, is there a difference in linguistic usage between different groups of people who write about Ethics of AI? To conduct these investigations, we would like to go further than traditional tools: we intend to develop graph-based natural language processing and computational sociology approaches making better use of mod- ern NLP methods to explore our data. In particular, we could to exploit word sense induction approaches to automatically extract different linguistic usages. Objectives: The goal of this internship is to investigate MapAIE by using and developing graph-based natural language processing and computational sociology approaches. The internship will proceed in three steps: 1. Conduct a state of the art exploration on existing graph-based natural language processing and com- putational sociology techniques, starting from Abstract Meaning Representations (AMR, [ https://github.com/amrisi/amr-guidelines/blob/master/amr.md | https://github.com/amrisi/amr-guidelines/blob/master/amr.md ] ) and Cortext (https://www.cortext.net/). 2. Re-implement existing techniques identified in (1), in particular [Eyal et al., 2022], and analyse the obtained results sociologically and linguistically in view of the research questions of the project. 3. Propose new research questions and new graph-based data exploration approaches relevant to MapAIE. Application: Deadline: October 25th, 2025. Application: To apply for this position, please send an email with your CV and a few words explaining your interest in this project to Maria Boritchev and Tiphaine Viard.
